It seems that evolution has taken a step back in kansas and allowed for monkeys to be members of the schoolboard. These monkeys couldn't tell the difference between a banana and a fart and voted Intelligent design back into the class room. A victory for the students apparently. Well, maybe if they are a species of primordial slime and not rather intelligent hominids.

If I want to describe this with a word I would pick 'sad'.

How could this happen in an enlighted society. Can we draw the conclusion that we are living in the dark ages? And that we may need a new renaissance.

They want to tell us that man didn't evolve from apes. It's pretty much the truth in Kansas. In Kansas man didn't evolve.

Homo sapiens evolved/es together with the apes, not from apes.
We're still apes, just a more clever species than others.

Edit: Here, got a definition from Britannica.com

ape (superfamily Hominoidea)
tailless primates of the families Hylobatidae (gibbons) and Hominidae (chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gorilla, and human being). Nonhuman apes are found in the tropical forests of western and central Africa and Southeast Asia. Apes are distinguished from monkeys by the complete absence of a tail and the presence of an appendix and by their more complex brains.

Is it more clever to pollute the land, water and atmosphere or to live in peace and harmony with your own kind AND with the environment? When the apes shit in their own nests too much, they move to a cleaner area. We clever species just drink the polluted water and breathe the polluted air ...and that's called "clever"?

Apes seldom, if ever, kill the members of their own tribe. But us clever species do it on a regular basis. Plus we put some of those members in prisons for their entire lives or execute them ...and that's "clever"?

Do you know how landfills work? We take all our muck, dig a hole in the ground and shove it in there. When we run out of room, we move on. We've been doing this since we shat in our monkey nests.

But guess what Baron? We're running out of room. We don't have a choice about what to eat and drink anymore.

Some apes (orangutans) don't even have tribes, but big males will occasionally kill each other in ritual fighting. Gibbons are cute and gentle, live in troops. I'm unsure of their social structure (though they sing and hoot and make noises every morning to mark their territory. You can hoot back, and they'll hoot back and it can go on like this for an hour. It's a real hoot).

The kinds of apes of ape that most closely resemble us (chimps) reguraly practice infanticide and all kinds of stuff. I think cannibalism has been recorded. And of course they fight between each other which sometimes end up with deaths. All intertribe, too.

Well, with reasoning like that, I guess all the scientists should just close up shop.

Oh, no, the scientists can hang around the shop and work if they want to and enjoy it. But they should never publish anything or leak it to the general public until they have absolute, irrefutable proof AND the absolute consensus of every other single scientist in the world ...if only one scientist disagrees, they must go back to the drawing board for more study and more proof.

We'll leave the lights on for the very few who just like to putter around the shop, okay?

Well there was just a court ruling in Pennsylvania (?) that ruled against Intellegent Design.

I agree, it doesn't belong in science. There is absolutely no proof, no observations, or no way to test Intellegent Design. It's a theory, if you can even call it that, as there is no way to even test that theory.

Intellegence Design is simply philosophy. It's all questions with no way to test anything. It does not belong in a science class which is all about testing theories. I have no problem with Intellegence Design being taught, just not in a science class. It belongs in a philosophical class at the most, but should stay in a religious one.
